The Jackson Police Department is investigating a stabbing that occurred Thursday that left one man dead. The body of the deceased was not found until the following Sunday in the 500 block of Woodrow Wilson Avenue.

Officers responded to Woodrow Wilson Avenue just after 2 p.m. and were informed a lawn crew discovered the body. Once they arrived, officers determined the deceased was an alleged suspect in Thursday's possible stabbing. That day authorities responded to a local hospital where an unidentified 21-year-old male arrived with multiple lacerations.

The victim's condition left him unable to divulge the details of the incident, but he was able to tell officers he stabbed another male who attempted to assault him.

Officers later canvassed the area, making several attempts to find the incident location. The victim said it occurred near the hospital, but no evidence was found. The deceased was eventually found near the University Plaza with what appeared to be several lacerations.

The deceased has since been identified as 60-year-old Montague Kennedy.

No arrests have yet been made in this case, which is now being investigated as a homicide. The stabbing victim remains hospitalized and is a person of interest in the ongoing investigation.
